"I''ll be dead in three months. Come tell my story." This is the chilling invitation from Sebastian Trapp, renowned mystery novelist, to his long-time correspondent Nicky Hunter, an expert in detective fiction. Welcomed into his lavish San Francisco mansion, Nicky begins to unravel Trapp''s life story under the watchful eyes of his enigmatic wife and plainspoken daughter.
But Sebastian Trapp is a mystery himself. And maybe - probably - a murderer.
Two decades ago, his first wife and son vanished - the case never solved. Is the master of mystery playing a deadly game - and if so, who will be the loser?
And when a body surfaces in the family''s koi pond, they all realize the past isn''t buried - it''s waiting. -
The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advert in the local gazette which reads: "A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 pm". A practical joke? Or a hoax intended to scare Letitia Blacklock?
